propertyfile increments wrong.

["Sonnek, Ryan" <Ry...@bpc.com>]

running ant 1.5.1 on win2k box i get strange behavior when incrementing a
property value.  the build.number property will increase by one, but
occationaly it will double.  the behavior i have seen is something like:
1, 2, 3, 4, 8, 9, 18, etc.

    <echo message="increment the build counter" />
    <propertyfile file="build/build.number">
      <entry  key="build.number" type="int" operation="+" value="1" />
    </propertyfile>

has anyone seen this, or is there some other way to reliably increment a
property?
thanks.
Ryan

Ryan,

I did a fair bit of work with <propertyfile> attempting to fix a lot of 
issues with it between 1.4.1 and 1.5.  I'm not aware of this problem 
(or I would have fixed it :) - could you come up with a test case that 
duplicates the issue in a repeatable fashion?  If so, I could probably 
fix it easily.

	Erik
